Driveclub March update out now, brings UI changes, new drift scoring, more

Evoltion has outlined the details of the March update for Driveclub. The new update, version 1.27, is around 300 mb, and it’s full of new features.

For starters, the game’s drift mode will now score players differently. The changes were teased some time ago, and the developer aims to better reward precise drifting, and penalise going off track. As a result, the drift leaderboards will be reset.

New Driver and Elite levels have also been added.

Find all the changes below:

New Drift Mode scoring: Fast and precise drifts now earn much bigger scores. Going off track, driving slowly or colliding with walls will result in a penalty to prevent exploits.

All Drift Mode leaderboards will be reset in the days following the update to ensure they offer a level playing field.

25 new Elite Levels have been added (new cap is 60).

25 new Driver Levels have been added (new cap is 120) with new livery rewards to unlock along the way.
